Title: Paperweight ID Please.
Post by: rachnathanking on February 10, 2014, 10:23:45 PM

Hello,

Please help me. I have spent hours on the internet trying to find the artists name on the bottom of my paperweight but can't quite make out the name?

I look forward to our reply.

Thanks,

Rachael

There are reflections and all sorts of things going on in your pics there, I'm afraid. I can't make out what it is really like as a paperweight.

It's difficult taking pics of glass! You're concentrating on photographing the weight, but you already know what it looks like, and you simply don't see all the stuff around it or the reflections that appear on it. Your brain dismisses them. But they turn up in the image and make it very confusing for those who don't know what we're looking at at.

It is not a Rollin Karg the signature is different.  Nor is it signed on the side which is common in USA items.

Looks something like Kerryn Cerf as far as I can figure.  This type is commonly called a disc pwt but they usually have a side ground flat so they can be stood to catch the light.
